Hello and bienvenue! I work with a diverse clientele and specialize in providing social justice oriented psychotherapy to people of color, as well as members of LGBTQIA+ communities. I provide culturally responsive therapy, which focuses on the strengths that you already have. I tend to use an Interpersonal Process theoretical approach (IPT) as well as a cognitive-behavioral theoretical approach (CBT) while also paying attention to your environment and access to social support. I work with you to build a safe space where you can share your experiences without the fear of being judged, and where you can focus on becoming clear about what you want, and how you want to go about making that happen. I believe that it is important to build a strong therapeutic relationship, as well as paying close attention to what is happening for you in-the-moment. I find it helpful to work to understand the different values and beliefs that we bring into the room, and how these worldviews might affect our interactions with each other. Understanding how your thoughts are related to your behaviors can empower and help you to actively account for your reality. You can use this insight to make the changes that will be necessary to live life more healthily.

I did not choose the career of counseling. It chose me. At the age of 13, I was going through anxiety and depression. I had no idea of how to navigate through life or how to handle my emotions. It was through the guidance of my middle school guidance counselor Donna Clark that I was introduced to counseling. 14 years later I followed in her footsteps and became a counselor. I am thankful to her for influencing me in my young life. It is because of her impact on my life that I seek to provide the same level of care and passion for every client I am blessed to work with.  My own personal journey is the basis of my understanding of anxiety and depression and what is necessary to heal from these feelings. Through studying the roots of my pain, practicing techniques, and learning to embrace who I am I learned that this direct experience can help me to become a more empathetic counselor.  Although I am skilled in many topics some of my favorite areas to counsel in are how to manage anxiety, depression, BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) issues , microagressions, those living with a disability, women issues, work stress, school stress, and grief. In addition, I enjoy working with my clients on goal setting, career planning, and addressing life stressors that comes up for them. I have worked with clients ages 12-65.  Listed below are my qualifications:  -Licensed Professional Counselor  -Tele-therapy Certification  -Grief Therapy Certification  -Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Certification  -American Counseling Association member since 2010  -Experienced Substance Disorder and Emotion Regulation ProvideR
